The "Power Mode" switch on the back of the unit has three positions:

Auto positioin
The Auto position automatically powers the unit on or off with your PC. If your PC is turned on the CloudStation will power up; if the PC is turned off the CloudStation will power down.
You must have installed the NAS Navigator software (available in each website of each region http://www.buffalotech.com/select-your-region) on your PC for this feature to work.

Otherwise, if you move the switch to Auto, your unit will power down by itself and you will have to manually turn it back on.

On position (middle)
Move the switch to the On (middle) position to have the CloudStor turn on and stay on.

Off position
To turn off the CloudStation, move the switch to the Off position. It will take several minutes to fully shut down.

Do not unplug the unit until shutdown is complete and the power LED is no longer lit.
